About Kelsey L.

I structure lessons so that students learn what they want to learn, while also covering notes, scales, improvisation, and reading music. I use the appropriate level Robert Cavally Melodious and Progressive Studies books, Rubank Methods for flute, and any other material the student is interested in learning.

About Kelsey

Hello there! My name is Kelsey, can't wait to meet you! I am fairly new to teaching private lessons, I started this January 2017. I love teaching, and I am very passionate about the flute! I'm excited to share my knowledge of this instrument with students, and to help them to achieve their best sound. I achieved my minor in flute performance at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, and graduated with my Bachelor's in 2012. I have personally been playing the flute for 20 years, and am able to teach students both to read music, and to improv. I perform in a duo several times a month around St. Louis and surrounding cities, specializing in flute improv and flute solos. I am a very patient, and enthusiastic person, and my teaching style is flexible and fun, focusing on attainable goals so the students can experience success.

I look forward to helping you reach your musical goals!

I was referred to Kelsey by a co-worker when I decided to start my seven year old on my old flute. We weren't sure if flute would be the right instrument, but since I already had one, it was the first logical step.

After the first lesson, my daughter had a good handle on identifying the notes in the treble clef. Half the battle is getting Chloe to pay attention. A stuffy, boring instructor would never keep her interest.

Kelsey is friendly, and reliable, and keeps lessons fun.

Bethany August 8, 2017·Flute·In home

We switched to Kelsey for lessons in January, and the difference in my 9-year-old beginner flute player was very noticeable. Brittany has been more motivated to practice, and has moved forward two seat-ranks in school band since starting lessons with Kelsey. Brittany loves her. They relate in a unique way, "woman to woman," so to speak. Kelsey is very dedicated, and knowledgeable about the instrument. Brittany is in good hands.

About Sara C.

Tone development through long tones, basic exercies, method books and repetoire. Breath control taught to encourage longer phrases.

About Sara

Hi! My name is Sara. My studio began in 2000, teaching one violin student. I took a break and went to college to earn my A.A. in Music and my Piano Performance Certificate from Riverside Community College in California. I graduated Great Distinction and was on the Dean's list. I received many piano and academic scholarships. While in college I started my studio in Riverside California teaching Piano to an autistic child. I taught him 3 times a week and made exceptional progress. I enjoyed it so much I started teaching full time in 2008 teaching piano, harp, violin, voice, guitar, flute and clarinet. Soon I had 50 students and created a 501 (c) (3) non-profit music school. My students and I perform for the public, including nursing homes. The performances are important for the students progress as well as the Piano Guild where students are

adjudicated by judges in a non competitive environment. Moving back to my hometown, I am excited to meet new students!

Sara introduced my 6 year old son to ukulele though online lessons. She was patient, positive, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Sara if you are thinking about having your son or daughter try out an instrument.

Carson May 4, 2017·Ukulele·Online

Sara was positive, excited, and connected easily with my 5 year old. He immediately felt comfortable and is excited for his next lesson.

Eliana January 21, 2017·Violin·Online

This was my daughter's first lesson. My daughter was pretty nervous at first, but Sara made us both feel very comfortable and at ease. She has such patience and grace and her kindness just flows from her. She puts a smile on your face and assures confidence within you that you can learn to play the violin. We look forward to many more lessons with Sara! Thank you Sara, and God bless you!

Michael is an excellent teacher and he was so patient with my daughter (5th grade). She was way ahead of the other students in her class and he found additional music for her to learn so she wasn't bored.

Suzette February 4, 2016·Saxophone·In studio

When my 11 year old son first began saxophone lessons with Michael Weiss, he was a true beginner but within 5 months, he was playing a song at a recital! Michael is patient and kind but firm in his direction and has instilled confidence in my son that he can play whatever songs he wants to play with focus and practice. Michael is flexible and adept at tailoring his lessons to the individual's needs. I highly recommend him.

About Jayme H.

The flute is one of the most beautiful instruments in an ensemble and often one of the most misunderstood. In lessons we would develop technique, tone, vibrato, range and musicality. The flute requires completely different technique than other wind instruments. It is important that an instructor understands this.

About Jayme

I am a certified teacher in Kansas. I have passed all background checks to be a public school teacher. I have 2 Bachelor Degrees, tuba performance and music education, from Wichita State University. I also have a Masters Degree from Sam Houston State University in Band Conducting.

I have been a public school band teacher for 5 years. I teach grades 5-12, as well as college level students, and college music education classes. My students have received top awards and positions in league, district, and state ensembles and performances.

I have experience in teaching band, orchestra, and choir. I take pride in having a well rounded education and a deep understanding of music education. I strive to be the best teacher for every one of my students.

Cooper July 9, 2017·Percussion·In studio

I was homeschooled all of my life up to freshman year of high school. I knew how to play the drum set by teaching myself so I played along with songs and just did what felt right. I joined band freshman year under the direction of Jayme. I had never ever read any kind of music or rhythms or anything. By senior i had qualified for two 1's at state solos, a 1 for a state percussion trio, District Symphonic band, and colleges offering me scholarships.

Sandie July 9, 2017·Clarinet·In studio

Jayme was my band teacher for four years. I started out not able to play, or correctly sight read audition music for district band. One year later of her teaching and I made it into the SCKMEA District Band. Two years later I made it into the Kansas State 1234A Band two years in a row. I could never have accomplished making it into these bands and more without the help of Jayme. She is a great, caring person who really puts her all into music and you personally. I highly recommend working with her in her studio!

Kimberly July 3, 2017·Percussion·In studio

She is willing to help anyone id they want help she will help them. She is a great person and teacher. She is helping me so much with my drumline music for college.
